What is the country with the best welfare in the world now? What welfare policies are there? What do you need to immigrate to this country?

Australia's social welfare system is the best. In fact, Canada and the United States are also good. Each has its own advantages.

Australia is one of the earliest countries in the world to implement the social welfare system, and established the social security system as early as 19 10. Australia is also one of the countries with the best social welfare in the world. At present, a fairly complete social welfare network has covered all parts of the country. Australia is a typical welfare society, with many kinds of social welfare. Australia's social security benefits are comprehensive, including:

1. Child support: A family with children can receive it with an annual income of no more than 65,000 Australian dollars, which is about 50-300 Australian dollars per person every two weeks. The amount depends on the age and number of children and the total income and property of the family.

2. Relief money: it is paid to people who have difficulties in life. New immigrants can only apply if the situation changes due to circumstances beyond their control. It is about 330 Australian dollars per person every two weeks.

3. Relief: About 330 Australian dollars per person every two weeks. Anyone who has the ability to work and is willing to work but can't find workers can get it. But new immigrants have to wait two years before they can apply. In addition, the government also has "job search subsidy" and "restart subsidy" programs to encourage and support the unemployed to join or re-join the employment. At the same time, when the unemployed meet a more suitable job, they can't refuse it.

4. Pension: Men need to be 65 years old and women need to be 60 years old to enjoy the pension. The pension is about 440 Australian dollars per week. Whether you can get a pension or not depends on your personal income and assets. Eligible people can also get preferential medical drugs and other health benefits. Therefore, the elderly in Australia are basically supported by the government. No one will have worries in life when he is old, and his children will not have the mental and economic pressure to support the elderly. Other benefits include reducing transportation fees, local taxes and electricity charges. Australia has also signed social security agreements with the United States, New Zealand, Canada and other countries 10.

5. Allowance: Each child can get a one-time childbirth allowance of $4,000 to help add supplies for newborns.

6. Sickness and Disability Allowance: People who receive pensions due to disability or temporary allowances due to illness can also receive rehabilitation treatment and training to see if they can return to work. Parents or guardians who need to receive high-level care and attention at home because of their children's physical, intellectual or psychological disabilities can also receive nursing subsidies.

7. In addition, there are study allowance, disaster allowance, remote area allowance, widow allowance, nursing allowance, spouse allowance, telephone allowance, rent allowance, transportation allowance and child care allowance.

8. Australia implements a universal health insurance system, that is, medical care. The state takes 0.5% of 65438+ people's income as medical fund in the form of tax. This medical care system includes paying the medical expenses of patients in public hospitals or most of the medical expenses for treatment outside hospitals, as well as the outpatient expenses of doctors. State and regional governments have the main management responsibility for hospitals, schools, stomatology, maternal and child health care programs, occupational health and safety services, disease control and health examination.

Australia has a social "safety net" that provides financial assistance and other forms of support to people in financial difficulties. Government agencies and non-governmental organizations work together to help the elderly, the disabled, the sick, the unemployed and families with many children. At present, a newly established institution in Australia is called "Liaison Center", which is responsible for a series of social work undertaken by various departments of the federal government.

10. Most new immigrants have to wait two years before they can apply for some social security funds, including unemployment benefits and study allowances, excluding medical allowances, child support, special relief funds, university scholarships and interest-free loans for tuition fees.
